I never was informed about it.

Your always welcome to come out west, just not sure if their will be another out west gathering......

It would do that trip with ease. I could have gotten on a plane too. Didn't get the private invite though.

I did not know you had not received a email. I would have forwarded you mine.
You could have been my special invitee.

:cheers:

Dennis: Would you have come out? I would hope so. :thumbsup:

I enjoyed meeting Locobob and Kevin at BG this year. I have no problems at all with Jeff. I would like to be attend this event in the future.

Dennis, they are both great guys, and I have known them for a long time. I hope to meet you in person as well someday. :cheers:

One of these days, you will have to join us! :hello: I know I personally have expressed interest many times in seeing you and your Beast at one of our events! :thumbsup: If we have to, we'll come to you!

We have had a lot of fun in the Northwest with our events, and I for one feel it would be a shame to let our area down and not have support for the local ZR-1'ers and other Registry members. I know others feel the same as I do, including non-local members. :cheers:

Thanks for the response. I have never been able to attend any of the Gatherings since moving back to Whidbey Island in 1994 At my age traveling any where is big deal for my old body. The 20th gathering was really a big trip and then required a couple stops both ways...getting old sucks. Traveling is even a greater problem for my wife. That said I really do like to read all the emails of what's happening in our area and on the natioal level
Some how I must have been taken off the mailing list. I heard nothing after all the posts about BG.
Please add my email to the region mailing list. I am a founding member and want to at least read about all the members and activities

BG gathering was one of the best Corvette events I ever attended. I am so pleased to have been there with all the old friends and putting faces with names
Thanks again and glad you stepped up to keep us active out here

let me try and set the record straight

the board voted 5 to 3 to not fund the PNW this year

Procedures for this event were not met. This was a private event and not announced or published prior to the date. There were local members who were unaware of the event. Expenditures were not approved prior to the event.
we have some fairly simple procedures to ensure events are announced, funding requested, reviewed, and approved prior to the event happening. this year that didn't happen which led to the vote to not reimburse.
going forward, I am going to publish guidelines to ensure that this doesn't happen again as I want to encourage regional events that give all club members a chance to get together and enjoy the ZR-1 experience and comraderie that the club is intended to support.
but the bottom line is that any event must be announced, available for all members to attend, and costs pre-approved as has happened in past years.

What a great idea. Now, since we are required to conduct business by formal rules with no exceptions, then it's logical we all know the rules.
We sure have come a long way since 1st forming this organization a zillion years ago...guess that's progress; live and learn:cheers:
